Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer coaches are needed for every team. Please consider volunteering as either a head coach or assistant coach when registering your child. A criminal background check is required for all coaches.

Head Coaches are asked to attend a coaches meeting before the season starts and will receive rosters, schedule, and uniforms. Coaches will lead drills at practices and oversee game activities.

Assistant Coaches lend a significant helping hand to head coaches at practices and games.

Scoreboard and Scorebook Volunteers are recruited by each head coach to represent the team to either operate the scoreboard or to keep the official scorebook for the game. Please proactively communicate to your child's coaches your willingness to help.

There are some exceptions: 9-10 Boys games are on Thursday nights (not Saturday), 11-13 Boys games are on Friday nights (not Saturday), and the 4 year-old division format is structured into 30 minute fundamentals (dribbling, shooting, passing) practices followed by a game in which the coaches are heavily involved. The 4 year-old division participants are too young to play full games; however, this division is a great introduction to the basic concepts of basketball. The 4 year-old schedule is as follows:
